[Ord. #2526, 7-11-2023, adopted]
Any development in any flood hazard
area that is being performed without an issued permit or that is in
conflict with an issued permit shall be deemed a violation. A building
or structure without the documentation of elevation of the lowest
floor, the lowest horizontal structural member if in a V or Coastal
A Zone, other required design certifications, or other evidence of
compliance required by the Building Code is presumed to be a violation
until such time as that documentation is provided.
[Ord. #2526, 7-11-2023, adopted]
The Floodplain Administrator is authorized
to serve notices of violation or stop-work orders to owners of property
involved, to the owner's agent, or to the person or persons doing
the work for development that is not within the scope of the Uniform
Construction Code but is regulated by these regulations and that is
determined to be a violation.
[Ord. #2526, 7-11-2023, adopted]
Any person who shall continue any
work after having been served with a notice of violation or a stop-work
order, except such work as that person is directed to perform to remove
or remedy a violation or unsafe condition, shall be subject to penalties
as prescribed by N.J.S.A. 40:49-5 as appropriate.
[Ord. #2526, 7-11-2023, adopted]
A thirty-day period shall be given
to the property owner as an opportunity to cure or abate the condition.
The property owner shall also be afforded an opportunity for a hearing
before the court for an independent determination concerning the violation.
Subsequent to the expiration of the thirty-day period, a fine greater
than $1,000 may be imposed if a court has not determined otherwise
or, upon reinspection of the property, it is determined that the abatement
has not been substantially completed.
